Bath repair in Gorof, done in place
Small damage on a bath is worth repairing early. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. A repair stops both. If you’re dealing with an old repair that has yellowed or come loose and a chip where the taps sit, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths are moulded sheet reinforced underneath. They do not rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and cracks need support from behind to stay fixed.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Chips rust quickly on steel, particularly by the plughole, so repair chips early.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

A bath gets knocked about more than you’d think: bottles, shower heads and razors are dropped every day, and fittings press hard against the enamel. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Snagging damage from a refit
- Impact holes in acrylic
- Rusty patches near the plughole
- A cracked acrylic bath

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the damage and taking out loose enamel and rust.
- Next we fill the damage and sand it smooth and level.
- We tint the finish on the day to suit your bath’s shade of white or colour.
- We apply the finish coats and polish the repair so it blends in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Fix dripping taps early to stop staining and limescale
- Rinse it down after each bath
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Keep metal cans and razors off the surface
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine, avoiding abrasives.
Tape over a fresh chip or crack until it’s repaired, so water cannot get in. Remove it before the repair.
Gorof: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a hole in a bath?
Typically. Photos of the hole and the underside help us check.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What does bath repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SA9 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you match an avocado or pink bath?
Yes. We mix the colour on the day to match, including older coloured suites.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
